Re-seat all plug in cables associated with the 20m section of the receiver. Check tightness of any screws that serve to ground the ground plane of the board. Inspect the bandswitch with a strong pen light and see if there is obvious corrosion on the switch contacts at the 20m setting. Rotate the switch vigorously from 20 to 40, and 20 to next band higher if any doubt.

Many faults that come from a radio sitting unused for a band may lie in the above possibilities.
